Title: Vehicle seat having a force applying unit associated with outboard side of seat squab
Inventor: VAN SLAGMAAT MARC
IPC: B60R21/00
Filed: 2003-01-14
Abstract: A safety arrangement is provided to reduce the risk of injuries occurring to an occupant of a vehicle seat in the event of a side-impact. A force-applying unit for example, in the form of eg. A metal air-bag (2) is associated with the squab (1) of the seat. The force-applying unit is actuable to apply a force to the pelvic region (3) of 50 percentile dummy (4) when sitting on the seat, the axis of the force being directed substantially towards the centre of gravity (5) of the dummy. In use of such a safety arrangement with a human seat occupant, the applied force will, it is envisaged, move the seat occupant upwardly and inwardly away from an intruding vehicle in a side-impact situation. In an alternative embodiment a pyrotechnic device may be located under the seat base. On deployment the seat base is tilted upwards and towards the longitudinal centre of the vehicle about a notianal tilt axis. Said air bag may be plastic, fabric or metal covered.

Title: Cooling of a device for influencing an electron beam
Inventor: HARRIS PAUL GEORGE
IPC: H01L21/027
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: A device for influencing an electron beam, in particular a beam deflector 10, comprises a cylindrical support body 11 with an axial passage 12 through which the beam can propagate and axially spaced sets of coils 14 supported by the body and operable by electrical energy to produce electromagnetic fields for deflection of the beam. The device includes a cooling system for counteracting temperature rise in the body 11 due to operation of the coils 14. The system comprises a pipe 15 of compliant material extending helically around and thermally conductively coupled, preferably adhesively bonded, to the support body 11 and serving to conduct liquid coolant for heat exchange with the body 11 over substantially all the external circumferential surface thereof. The cooling system further includes a pump 16 for conveying the coolant through the pipe 15 in a generally laminar flow so that, in conjunction with the flow path and pipe material, generation of vibrations is largely avoided and any vibrations that are generated are absorbed by the pipe 15 rather than transmitted to the body 11.

Title: Detection circuit and method for clearing BIOS configuration memory
Inventor: WANG JUNG-AN
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2003-04-04
Abstract: A BIOS configuration memory-clearing detection circuit and a method of clearing a BIOS configuration memory for computer main board uses a latching circuit to detect whether a user has set a clearing of the BIOS configuration memory. If the user has set a clearing of the BIOS configuration memory, the latching circuit sets a clearing latch signal.

Title: Authenticating a client to a legacy server using a web server connected to an authentication service when the client wishes to access data on the web server
Inventor: STEWART GRAHAM W
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: A system and method for authenticating a legacy server such as an FTP server 412 using internet technology is disclosed. An authentication module 413 associated with the legacy server receives a service request from a user 420-426 of the legacy server. In response the authentication module generates a second service request for a web server 414 requesting access to a protected page from the web server. The second service request contains the user's credentials. The web server attempts to access the protected page, causing the web server to access a network-based authentication service 418 to determine whether the user's credentials qualify for access to the protected page. The web server transmits a message back to authentication module, which determines whether the user's credentials qualify for access to the legacy server based on the message from the web server.
